The Minnesota Wild look to close out their series with the St Louis Blues on Sunday afternoon.

Fans of the St Louis Blues have to be concerned as their team was one of the elite in the Western Conference yet find themselves on the brink of elimination. The Blues dropped game five at the Scottrade Center by a 4-1 count as their offense once again stalled and their defense was subpar on top of that. The result is a 3-2 series deficit with game six scheduled for Sunday at the Excel Energy Center. Vladimir Tarasenko gave the Blues gave St Louis a 1-0 lead in the first with a power play tally at around the eight minute mark but that was it for the offense. That wasn’t enough for goalie Jake Allen who recorded just 15 saves.
